B1 Test - Quick Question - Confirmation Required

Post by devilish » Thu Dec 29, 2016 2:03 pm

Hi Friends/ Moderators,

Please can someone assist me with the below query

"Reading through a lot of posts regarding English language requirement for Naturalization has confused me a bit ( Possibly have read some posts before Nov 2015).

I got my ILR on 14th Oct 2013 and hence satisfied the English Language Requirement and Education Points via my Bachelors degree from Mumbai University. Still have the PBS calculator printout which confirm this.

Now some rules changed on 28th Oct 2015 and as per new rules I have to prove I meet English Language Requirement by taking Trinity College B1 Test ( Cost GBP 150) or get a certificate from UK Naric (GBP 130) which would confirm that my degree is equivalent to UK GCSE Level 5 or above. Is this correct?

Also will UKBA accept an old PBS calculator printout anymore? Don't think its a good idea but just wanted to check with more experienced guys? "

Regards

Devilish

No, the PBS Calculator is no longer accepted by HO.

As you did not get ILR on or AFTER 28th October 2013, you will have to either do a B1 test or apply to NARIC for an ELA of your degree, using the specific UKVI option.

B1 test is quicker.

CR001 is a 'sis'. :|

The fee for a NARIC ELA and a B1 test are both £150.

Please don't send me PMs asking for immigration advice on posts that are on the open forum. If I haven't responded there, it's because I don't have the answer. I'm a moderator, not a legal professional.
